in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior can choose to sue someone to recover unpaid construction charges and penalties. If the Secretary does file such a suit, the right to cancel the entry or water-right application (allowed under section 480) is put on hold while the lawsuit is pending.

If the Secretary of the Interior chooses to, the Secretary may have a lawsuit brought to recover the amount of construction charges that are in default, along with penalties. If such a lawsuit is filed, the right to cancel and forfeit the entry or water-right application — which section 480 of this title otherwise allows — is paused while that lawsuit is pending.
